  • RE: steel frame building with tension cables

    For defining cables which would serve as braces in tension, it should be enough to specify these as MEMBER TENSION. You do not need to define these as cables as such. The cross section can be defined using the Define option within the Property - Whole…

  • steel frame building with tension cables

    Good day, I am currently modelling a steel structure that employs the use of tension cable for lateral bracing in addition to an eccentrically braced frame. I have a few queries as it relates to the specification for the cables, which I have listed…

  • RE: Calculating Deflection (P Delta Effects)

    Tension along a linear member does not impact perpendicular deflection in general finite element analysis. One would have to perform a full-blown cable analysis to see the effect of tension in reducing centenary drape. See Help - Contents - Section…

  • How to perform cable analysis?

    I have a structure that is X-braced with cables. I want to perform both types of analysis: Cable and Code Check for the columns and beams? I don't understand why, but I get slightly different results when I do just cable analysis vs. both (shown in attached…

  • RE: Error during cable analysis

    You were attempting to do a Nonlinear Cable Analysis but there was no pretension load defined which is essential. I added a pretension of 10KN ( you may change as needed). The bigger question is whether the nonlinear cable analysis is required or not…

  • Continuous Cable with Intermediate Cable Supports

    Hi, I am trying to model a continuous cable with 13 intermediate vertical cable supports as well as 2 horizontal supports at the ends. The results don't seem to be making sense, as the supports at the end are only showing the initial tension and no…

  • Cable Laying Method-Single Layer

    I am looking for information on Cable Laying Method within BRCM, specifically, how do you route Single Layer cables? Does BRCM know because of the cable type (i.e. 1/0, 4/0, 500, etc) that is should be in single layer tray, or do we need to manually…
